Chapter 4: Three Ways

The next day, the sky is just bright, in a school field in the western suburbs of Luoyang, there is already a sea of people, the car is ringing and the horse is barking, today is the day of the imperial court swearing to beg for thieves, so early in the morning, the west school field is already overcrowded, as soon as the number of people exceeds 10,000, it is boundless, in addition to the people who sent off the soldiers,

When Liu Xie's honor guard arrived at the West School Field, there were noisy voices everywhere in the West School Field. When Lu Zhi and the others saw Liu Xie's arrival, they hurriedly asked the officers at all levels behind them to reorganize the team, and for a while, the West Campus was dusty. Liu Xie stood still on the platform, looked at the energetic soldiers below, felt very satisfied, and directly signaled Zhao Zhong to start the oath meeting.

Zhao Zhong walked to the front of the stage, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: The oath meeting of the imperial court counterinsurgency army starts now, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will speak. The people of Taixia hurried to the battle, the soldiers saluted, the people knelt directly on the ground, and the officials made a slight compilation. Liu Xie looked at the people in the audience, and said directly: Soldiers, my Han Dynasty has been inherited for more than 400 years, and now the Central Plains Demon Dao rebellion, what should we do?

Everyone in the audience raised their arms and shouted: kill, kill, kill. For a while, the shouts of killing resounded in all corners of Luoyang City. Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and continued: Yes, we want to kill, kill a Lang Lang Qiankun, use the sword in our hands, tell those enemies, those who offend my Han Tianwei, although they are far away, they will be punished, this sentence is not only applicable to the outside, but also to the inside, soldiers! We're going to the front, and I know you're going to be scared, and so am I! But we have no way back, behind us is the Motherland! It's our mothers, women and children! We are their hope! If the enemy wants to invade our homeland, step over our corpses! Unleash your housekeeping skills and deliver a fatal blow to your enemies! Kill! , everyone in the audience followed Liu Xie and shouted in unison: Kill.

Liu Xie continued: When we return triumphantly, I invite you to drink wine and eat meat in this west school grounds. Finally, I'm talking about the last sentence, those who kill Zhang Jiao will be divided into 10,000 households, and 1,000 households will eat. As long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, you will not be rewarded. The soldiers in the audience all shouted long live, Guo Jia and Cao Cao stood together, heard the sound of long live, the two looked at each other, and knew that Liu Xie had collected the hearts of the counterinsurgency army. But the soldiers asked for so much, someone could lead them to victory, someone remembered them, and the most important thing was that the court remembered their efforts.

Liu Xie saw that the morale of the soldiers was booming, so he said to Zhao Zhong: Start the ceremony, Zhao Zhong nodded, and then waved his hand, and a few Taoist priests came up, holding the big flag in their hands, and inserted the big flag into the center of the venue. Zhao Zhong then waved his hand, and several Taoist priests on the stage walked off the stage, and several sergeants came up, three of them carried knives in their hands, and the others carried pigs, cows, and sheep in their hands.

The three sergeants stabbed the knives directly into the throats of pigs, cows, and sheep, and the hot blood flew out of the way along the hilt of the knives. Then Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun directly turned over and rode out first.

Six of the eight captains in the West Garden, as well as Xi Zhicai, Xun You, and Lu Su, followed the three according to the previous assignment and took the lead out of the camp. Lu Zhi took people to Hebei, Huangfu Song took people to Yingchuan, and Zhu Jun took people to Wancheng. Among them, Lu Zhi's task is the heaviest, Lu Zhi's theater of operations is the largest, and the Yellow Turban army is the strongest, that is, the three Zhang Jiao brothers are all located in Jizhou, Hebei. Therefore, Liu Xie was most worried about Lu Zhi's journey.

Guo Jia also saw Liu Xie's worries, walked behind Liu Xie and said: Your Highness, don't worry, Bei Zhonglang will be able to deal with it. Liu Xie nodded when he heard this. Looking at the sergeant who slowly walked out of the barracks and rushed to the battlefield, he bowed solemnly. The Han Dynasty has been able to exist for 400 years because of a steady stream of sergeants.

Liu Xie's salute, not only the sergeant in front of him, but also all the sergeants since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and Cao Cao behind him, and said, let's go back to Deyang Hall first, arrange other things, wait for two days We are leaving, Guo Jia and Cao Cao nodded and promised, the three of them set off on horseback, and the guards behind the three hurriedly followed, and the dust behind them rose high, witnessing everything that happened here just now. Liu Xie needs to set off a few days late, and he also needs to arrange Luoyang's defense problems, and he can't fight fiercely on the front line, and Luoyang in the rear is beaten down.

Therefore, Liu Xie's focus in the past few days is to improve Luoyang's defense, and only if Luoyang has no problems, he rushed to the battlefield. Liu Xie, who turned back to the Deyang Palace, immediately began to get busy.

Transferring troops from the surrounding cities of Luoyang to Luoyang, and how much each city will be transferred, these are all questions. But at this time, Guo Jia threw a new question to Liu Xie, after Liu Xie left, who was the leader of the army transferred from Luoyang? After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Xie directly asked where he was, he was so busy that he was taking care of transferring troops to Luoyang, but he forgot the most important question, the snake is not good, not to mention how many troops originally belonged to different places, it is conceivable that Luoyang, the town guarding army, will not have fewer problems in the future, and there needs to be a prestige person to serve as the supreme commander of this army.

And counting the ministers of the court, no one can take on this heavy responsibility. Liu Xie carefully recalled that in the original history, He Jin was personally responsible for the Luoyang town guards, did he want to reactivate He Jin, who was obviously not the same heart as himself, where Liu Xie sat was a little embarrassed for a while. Guo Jia saw Liu Xie's embarrassment, so he stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Xie, looked at Liu Xie and said: His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe there is a suitable person?

As soon as Liu Xie heard Guo Jia say that there was a suitable candidate, he immediately looked at Guo Jia and asked him to quickly say the candidate. Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie and said a person's name softly: Dong Chong. Liu Xie heard where Dong Chong was. After thinking about it carefully, Dong Zhong that Guo Jia said is indeed the most suitable candidate. First of all, Dong Chong is now a hussar general, which just meets the requirements, and secondly, Dong Chongren has been a hussar general for some years, and he must have some contacts in the army, which is also convenient for managing this brand-new army.

However, Liu Xie doesn't know Dong Chong's ability very well, this person died at the hands of He Jin in the original history, and a person who died at the hands of He Jin, how much ability can you expect him to have. So Liu Xie's heart was faintly worried. Guo Jia also knew what Liu Xie was thinking, so he looked at Liu Xie and continued, there are Xun You and Zhong Xuan in Luoyang City. Liu Xie was relieved when he heard this, it is true that Xun You and Zhong Xuan are in Luoyang City, and it will be foolproof to let Xun You and Zhong Xiang hold a position in this army, and assist Dong Chong, but in this way, the burden on Xun You and Zhong Xuan is too heavy. However, for the safety of Luoyang City, Liu Xie could only arrange it like this.
